    How can I open a TCP connection with a source IP
    address that's not configured on the machine?

    I've created a proxy (like Squid but for another
    protocol), and I use ipfw fwd to get the client's
    TCP connections to this proxy.

    The problem is that the connections that the proxy
    open have the source IP address of the machine where
    the proxy is running on.

    What I'd like to do is to use the IP address of the
    client as the source IP address of connections opened
    by the proxy for that client.

    Any way to do this in FreeBSD 4 or 5?
